lossless audio compression
<audio, compression> Any kind of audio compression in which the original
signal and the decoded signal are bitwise identical. Lossless audio compression
algorithms are usually based on a data compression algorithm like PKzip or gzip
but specialized for PCM audio data. The signal is divided into predictable tonal
components and unpredictable noisy components. Tonal components are stored as
coefficients of a predictor, the remaining signal is coded by a Rice, Huffman,
or arithmetic coder.
